Yukonart Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Laurel and I should be heading up to Steven's pass with a friend or two in my car on the 31st. . . IF she can get the day off work. Shouldn't be a problem, though, she's putting in a request for that day off, I think. We both board pretty decently. Would be fun to meet some out-of-town folk over the holidays.

All_talk Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm assuming you'll be sticking to the west side of the mountains, but if you end up in central WA feel free to look me up. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam N.D.J. Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I would suggest a stop by Mt. Ashland here in S. Oregon, but I don't know when they are opening this year, I was just up there t'night and they weren't open. But if you want to stop by and say hi.

Yukonart Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Oh yeah. . . Russ. . . . If you don't have any plans for New Year's Eve, just come on back to my place after we're done boarding. We're having a get-together with a great bunch of friends. . . some of whom are big Subbie nuts . . . and a few more would be most welcome.

Cool:drunk: going to be hooking up with the cousin that night but I dont know if he has any plans for the night. I will ask him. I am working like crazy to get some new bording gear for the season. my old stuff is about done. boots/bindings worn out. board is nice but too small for me. I sink in the powder and trees.

Yukonart Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I had the sinking problem in powder last season. My 159 board just wasn't enough. (5'11" and 210 lbs here) Not to mention my friend (who teaches boarding) set up my bindings for a very aggressive stance. I could tear up any other condition, but deep powder would slow me down so much at times that I couldn't keep going. Now I've got a brand new Burton Triumph 164. It's longer, wider, and I can set up the bindings for a more optimal all-mountain ride, and I should be able to stay up in deep powder much more easily. At any rate, the invite for New Year's Eve stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Wouldnt mind hooking up to say hi, after the first maybe. I'm just east of Tacoma and it only takes about 25min to make it to I-5 (or less )If thats possible, I'll give you my cell #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukonart Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Keeping tabs on the snow reports. . . may have to head to Crystal instead of Stevens when you get here, Russ. Nice part is, Crystal really DOES have better snow and runs, for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 And the way to Crystal goes right past mine and Rob's houses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
